exercises

USE 1 Now
 Use the Present Continuous with Continuous Verbs to express
the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment.
It can also be used to show that something is not happening
now.
 Examples:
– You are learning English now.
– You are not swimming now.
– Are you sleeping?
– I am sitting.
– I am not standing.
– Is he sitting or standing?
– They are reading their books.
– They are not watching television.
– What are you doing?
– Why aren't you doing your homework?
USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now
 In English, "now" can mean: today, this month, this
year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the
Present Continuous to say that we are in the process
of doing a longer action which is in progress;
however, we might not be doing it at this exact
second.
 Examples:
– I am studying to become a doctor.
– I am not studying to become a dentist.
– I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.
– I am not reading any books right now.
– Are you working on any special projects at work?
– Aren't you teaching at the university now?
USE 3 Near Future
 Sometimes, speakers use the Present
Continuous to indicate that something will or
will not happen in the near future.
 Examples:
– I am meeting some friends after work.
– I am not going to the party tonight.
– Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
– Isn't he coming with us tonight?
USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with
"Always"
 Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly"
between "be" and "verb+ing."
 Examples:
– She is always coming to class late.
– He is constantly talking.
REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs/
Mixed Verbs
 It is important to remember that Non-Continuous
Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses.
Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed
Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. Instead
of using Present Continuous with these verbs, you
must use Simple Present.
 Examples:
– She is loving this chocolate ice cream. Not Correct
– She loves this chocolate ice cream. Correct
Non-Continuous Verbs
 These verbs are usually things you cannot see somebody
doing. These verbs are rarely used in continuous tenses. They
include:
 Abstract Verbs
– to be, to want, to cost, to seem, to need, to care, to contain, to
owe, to exist...
 Possession Verbs
– to possess, to own, to belong...
 Emotion Verbs
– to like, to love, to hate, to dislike, to fear, to envy, to mind...
 Examples:
– He is needing help now. Not Correct
– He needs help now. Correct
– He is wanting a drink now. Not Correct
– He wants a drink now. Correct
Mixed Verbs
 The group called "Mixed Verbs," is the smallest
group. These verbs have more than one meaning. In
a way, each meaning is a unique verb. Some
meanings behave like "Non-Continuous Verbs,"
while other meanings behave like "Normal Verbs."
 Mixed Verbs
– to appear, to feel, to have, to hear, to look, to see, to
weigh...

ADVERB PLACEMENT
 The examples below show the placement for
grammar adverbs such as: always, only,
never, ever, still, just, etc.
 Examples:
– You are still watching TV.
– Are you still watching TV?
